Now, when I mouseover the button on the page, I get a Javascript error:
Object doesn't support this property or method.

Why am I getting this error? If I change the onmouseover call to use something like "alert('testing');" the alert works fine. I also tried using window.status='testing'; and it worked fine as well. Why won't it call me predefined function? I have tried changing the name of the function to several different things (in case 'help' was a javascript keyword or something) but that didn't work either. When I remove the onmouseover altogether the page runs fine, without error. What am I missing here?

However, having the code embedded in my pages still doesn't work. I'm not sure what would prevent it from working correctly. What type of headers need to be sent to correctly make something like this work?

Unfortunetly I don't have this on an external server that you can view yet. My host has had it's ftp access down for the past day so I haven't been able to upload my changes yet. This is all being done on a home server.

The general gist of the page is its a normal php page (far as I can tell) which contains an iframe. Inside this iframe is where the input button lives that is having the problem. Is there anything upfront that you can think of that would be causing the issue? I will post again when I am able to upload the pages to my host.

Without seeing all your code, it's hard to say. You said that the button is in an iframe. Where is the function, in the parent html or the iframe itself? What other functions do you have? How exactly are you calling the function? You see what I mean ... Show me all the code for your html page and I'll fix your problem. Attach it if you have to.
